Almost everyone wants to see what he or she may look like in the future, but this technology was not always possible. Since the development of the internet, more applications and free software were developed that allow people to see what they may or may not look like. However, this age progression software is not necessarily 100-percent accurate. While it does add wrinkles, age lines and skin
. sag, it does not give an accurate impression of true aging.In fact, some of these age progression programs allow the person to see what he or she may look like as another race or even a cartoon. In most cases, free age progression software uses simplistic algorithms that capture the face and distort it using various filters. This technology does allow for age progression, but it does so by bloating the face, darkening or stretching with smudge filters, using fish-eye lenses and adding edge lines.Listed below are a few age progression programs that can help someone see how he or she may look in the future:
Face Transformer
The face transformer is free to use, and the person can save the images for use later. Simply upload a picture, and then use the program's tracking features to pinpoint the eyes and mouth on the picture. Afterward, the program aligns the photo to its algorithms and transforms the face. This software includes a drop-down menu that lets the user see other face transformations such as drunk, child, El Greco, teenager and more.http://www.morph.cs.st-andrews.ac.uk
Age-Me
Age-Me.com features April, the face aging software that transforms the face over time. Users can see how they may look five, 10, 20 or more years into the future. Simply upload the photo; set the aging factors, and view the results. Unfortunately, only a free trial is available with a sample picture.http://www.age-me.com/
